Farm Fresh Produce - Now what to do with it?

[Jadey]

My cousins are The Farmer & The Chef and they've recently teamed up with Farmhouse Direct. They have seen me posting a million and one different food pics on Facebook and decided to send me their autumn veggie box.



Only problem is I have no idea what to do with it! So I have more capsicum, sweet peppers and chilli than I know what to do with.

What ideas do you have? I can't let any of it go to waste and I want them to see something spectacular from me.

I do have more than that obviously with garlic, zucchini (biggest I've ever seen) and butternut, but I think I can work with those.

Piperade is a fabulous French Basque capsicum casserole/sauce that uses lots of capsicums, and tastes and looks great.

Here is a link to Julia Child's recipe for piperade.   This is not a TMX recipe, but I am sure you could adapt it.

It can be eaten on its own, as a vegetable side dish, as a sauce over meat, or over a quiche or omellette.

Good luck!

Karen's idea is good.  I would also roast and peel some and freeze in small lots,  to use later on, on pizzas.

I would make a onion, garlic, chilli, capsicum relish, to go over cold meats ect.

Thanks girls - love the suggestions so far! Keep them coming

Obbie do you have a recipe?
